Advent im Salzkammergut

The magic of Advent in Mondsee

When it gets cold, the first snow lines the lakeshore and a layer of ice slowly forms on the lake, the quiet time in the Salzkammergut begins. Reduced to the essentials and contemplative, the small villages are full of life. Experience the Advent season with a stay at the Mondseeblick.

Advent markets in Mondsee and the surrounding area

It is the time for craftsmen to revitalise their old handicrafts at the Christmas market in Mondsee and at numerous Advent markets in the Salzkammergut, presenting their workpieces such as turned bowls made from old, washed-up root wood. The Goldhauben women present the craft of gold bonnet embroidery, which has almost been forgotten today.

Combine the most contemplative time of the year with a holiday in the Salzkammergut and experience the special atmosphere of the Christmas markets and Advent traditions in Mondsee. We look forward to receiving your non-binding enquiry.
